Cool - a Turkish olive oil shop has opened up at Great World City (1 Kim Seng Promenade #B1-13B, 6737-8307). I'm far from being any kind of olive oil connoisseur, but lately I've become particularly fond of extremely pungent ones; the dark green ones that are so strong in their fruity, grassy taste that they almost sting a bit...as if one were almost biting into the olive tree itself. A few from Spain and Italy come to mind.
Unfortunately, all four of these in TA-ZE's sample pack were more mild than I was hoping for. Even a giant cheapo bottle that I got from Carrefour was stronger in taste than these, if more processed. But lack of boldness aside, these Turkish ones were more natural and polished - and pleasantly so. I just hope that I can find something stronger from them next time.

Hi there,
Thanks for your nice comments about our shop. We place ourselves differently from Vom-Fass as we are direct producers. If you visit our shop again, we will be happy see you again and to give you the chance to taste them all of our olives..and we are sure you can find the one you are looking for...
